I once had "quetzals" played on me... with the q on a double letter, across a triple word score. Yes, it cleared the rack. (playing games in my family sucks)

@soggy_cheerio: Trust me. You don't want to play games in my family. If it's not a Mayfair, or Ravensberger game, you don't want to play it. Although, we had every Avalon Hill game, and that's not too bad. We used to play Civilization, every time we got snowed in. My brother almost got into a fisticuffs with his fiance over a game of "Diplomacy". And, I've also seen people draw knives over much more pedantic games.

Best board games?

For children: Ravensberger's "The Amazing Labyrinth"

For thinkers: Mayfair's "Settlers of Catan"

For those with time to kill: Avalon Hill's "Civilization"

Well, given the size of the pieces, I suppose keeping your letter options a secret is a bit out of the question.

I wonder if anyone messes with them by pulling up and rearranging the stones?

Good thing they're not playing the official version otherwise they'd have a hell of a time trying to turn over the giant sand timer..
